The Railway Crossing
Hi all. As a child of around 7 years or so I recall vising my grandad and grandma who lived at a small cottage near the railway crossing. I will look up the name of the road and add later to this story.
My grandad's name was surname of Carter and he worked on the railway as I believe, a ganger. He had a big family of, as I recall but will recheck later, 5 girls and 3 boys. I visited the place where the cottage was about 20 years ago and it was in ruins with just a few bricks and some flowers surviving from the garden.
I Googled the area today and from a satellite map I see a big roundabout now and a concrete bridge has taken the place of the crossing.
I do have somwhere a pic of my brothers, 2 of them, and myself sitting on the side of the road at the crossing. If I get some replies on this website then I can send people the pics if they want to see them.
Cheerio for now.

RE: RE: The Railway Crossing
I have found whilst researching my family history, that my G.G.Grd-father lived with his family at the Level Crossing next to the Station in the 1901 Census. I would be most grateful for any info. or photos that anyone can supply.
Many thanks,
Alun Lewis.
